Dear Friends,
Sometimes, life just hands us the inevitable: just when everything seems right with your home, something happens and you have to sell your dwelling. No matter what your reasons are for selling, remember that now is no time to dawdle, the process of preparing a home for sale can take a month or more. So, here's how to start: 1. Consider what's called "street appeal;" does it need washing or painting? Does the driveway need repair work? 2. Clean Out the Clutter Before You Start to Sell. Get rid of clutter in every area -- closets, attic storage, kitchen cabinets, drawers, bath vanities, and shelves. 3. To Sell, Sell, Sell -- Clean, Clean, Clean 4. Get More for Your Home: Repairs Pay Off 5. Putting Your Home on the Market: Show It to Sell It 6. Get a Sense of the Market Before you put your home on the market, take a weekend day to check out the competition. Remember, you don't have to go out and buy new furniture just to look like that beautiful new model in the new development -- what you want is the feel of that new model -- clean, uncluttered, and fresh. Remember, after location, the most important item to a buyer is a well maintained home. Many flaws can be overlooked if the buyer knows he can move in without a lot of trouble and expense.
